Gather the Memories :: Reflections of a Snow Day

Somehow we are still excited about the snow. Even after the last snow a few weeks ago hung around for 12 days and closed school for a week, we still were excited when we woke up Thursday morning to nearly a foot of snow.

A foot.

We live in Kentucky, where I’m happy to say winters are usually mild. Even with 95 degrees and all the humidity possible, I’m a summer girl at heart.

But I’ve loved these snow days. I almost feel bad about generally thinking I don’t like snow. I may not love it. And I’m certainly not driving in it. Yet the snow has been beautiful and forced us to slow down.

We gathered. We gathered with each other. We gathered memories.

My girl has gotten some much-needed sleep after some trouble falling asleep in recent nights.

So cool that you have snow! Our kids are so jealous of those snow pics! We don't have snow in FL nor will we. We used to have KS snow. They miss that. I don't really. I hate being cold, but the snow fun is fun! I am glad you're enjoying it and having fun inside and out! I love your pics too! 🙂 FMF sister, Jenn

God's really doing something in my heart. (You told me he would when I chose JOY this year!) Days like this used to stress me out because everything was a mess. Now these days are so fun. Love you, Beth!

We dodged our big snow and frozen temps by gathering ourselves into our car and going to sunny Florida; however, I remember the blizzard of 93 with almost 3 feet of snow – we were forced to stop and just live every moment. Truly, one of my favorite memories. Enjoy these gatherings Kristin! Over from FMF today.

Living in ND I've had my fair share of snow days but they really can be good for the soul. It is good to gather those memories isn't it? I just finished gathering my 2014 photos into a year in review ShutterFly book.

I can relate. After spending my childhood in the Midwest I am a total summer girl. Never mind that I live in Dallas now and summers can be HOT. I will take it. Oh how I want to hold each of the memories with my girls. Never letting go of the feel of their hands and the smell of their hair. They are promises from God in flesh.
